Agricultural Laborer at Work - Placing Buntal Straw in Vinegar (c1915-1920)
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a moment of quiet industry as an agricultural laborer carefully places buntal straw into vinegar, likely for the purpose of preserving or treating the plant material. The image is dated between 1915 and 1920, during which time agriculture was undergoing significant changes in response to World War I.
The photographer, George Grantham Bain (1865-1932), a renowned press photographer and founder of the Bain News Service, has captured this scene with precision and sensitivity. His use of black-and-white photography allows for a stark contrast between the straw's golden hue and the dark vinegar, drawing attention to the laborer's focused task.
This photograph not only provides insight into agricultural practices during this period but also offers a glimpse into the daily lives of working-class individuals who played crucial roles in feeding communities. The image is part of Heritage Images' extensive collection of historical photographs, offering a unique window into the past and its people.
